♪ ♪ ♪ [ pitbull ] keep the party moving. dale! bud light together again with pitbull. here we go! >> tim: as you look at our game summary, you hear the polka, but they've rolled out everything else. the three-point field goal story, they get open looks and if they make them, bill, wisconsin is very difficult to beat. >> bill: they are, then you

throw out roll out the bruiser, he gets his hans on loose balls, down and dirty, aggressive, he's emotional and gives them a lift. >> tim: a little give-and-go. 29 and 10. bruesewitz and berggren with a two-man game. >> bill: we should have grown our hair. maybe we would have played a little better. nice read. >> tim: a team like wisconsin gets a big lead, it's very difficult to come back. thomas. nicely done. step-in off the ball fake. the reasons are pretty obvious about why it's hard to come back. >> bill: less possessions. very patient on the offensive end. thomas very active. very good motion. there is that stagger they like to run. dribble handoff.

>> tim: we see more and more of that in college basketball today. >> bill: curl by dekker. tough shot, though. >> tim: that was probably the most difficult shot you would see wisconsin take. >> bill: aaron craft does a great job shadowing the passer. tough to get him an entry when had he's guarding you. >> tim: thomas back on the floor, trey mcdonald out of the time out and craft gets that one to go. i think we may have had a push. or a clock issue, apparently. that's what larry scaroto noticed. >> bill: great understanding. you see the inexperience of mcdonald there, sneaks a peek. the fro, i thought it was natural and i said my son billy has the same kind of hair. i said is that in -- does his mother have curly hair. he says he gets a permanent. i asked him to show me his nails and he got a mani-pedi.

great involvement. i love his style. he gets everything out of his ability and i think it lifts other kids. there you go. >> tim: he's trending here. he cut those locks last year to raise money for multiple sclerosis. he looked a little like berggren this time a year ago and he may once again be getting ready to shave it down to make money for charity again. that's the garfinkel look. or is it garfunkel? i think it's garfunkel. >> bill: great deprecating humor. i said where are you from? he said new jersey. he said my brother went to princeton. he said, "he got all the brains in the family." bo, a keeper out of chest canner, his philly roots, so proud of his days there, his dad, butch, coached a lot of

kids, in fact, my backcourt mate at la salle tony abbott was coached as a kid by his dad. >> tim: the decision is to take 23 seconds off the clock, says larry sclaroto. we're now at 5:55. >> bill: this is where they will not make too many mistakes but just to try to force some speed on wisconsin, extend that pressure. >> tim: sadly for ohio state, when they lose the numbers look like that quite often. >> bill: there is that double-circle pin-down series they run. >> tim: somebody's got to step up and help deshaun thomas on the offensive end. first things first. stop here is important. clock is under 10. force a tough shot. >> bill: good job. >> tim: thomas the rebound.

12 field goals made by wisconsin. only one turnover. >> bill: that's that improved offensive play. they've got a push-off. >> tim: mcdonald. a reminder. tomorrow on cbs, the new neighbor is very cute, very friendly, and just a little creepy. a new "2 broke girls" tomorrow, cbs. i think that was part of our production meeting last night. >> bill: when you said "creepy," you looked at me. can't afford empty trips when you're coming back as ohio state did that time. thompson. i like the way he's developed his outside jump shot. back screen and pop. >> tim: aaron craft at his finest right there. >> bill: bruesewitz with short hair. >> tim: shot clock under 10. iment look at his footwork. what a clinic. >> tim: tough pass.

evans was able to get it. that in-between game of his is there. >> bill: that's his game. he's got to provide that low-post offense. they slip a lot of bigs and forwards in there as well. >> tim: they miss a hot defensively if he doesn't spend a lot of time on the floor. they need his confidence to be there offensively. >> bill: see that? challenge craft to make the deep one. >> tim: lead is 17 with just over four to play in the half. ohio state looking for their first three-pointer. 0-5 beyond the arc. >> bill: we're looking at the scouting showing big because they make that jump shot if you hide. under 10 once again. nice run to the rim. >> tim: dekker on the wing. what rotation that young man's got. a mike dunleavy look about him.

>> bill: they stretch the d and challenge the weak-side help, reverse the ball. a lot of strength defensively. >> tim: the lead balloons to 20. very strong move that time by lenzelle smith jr., and he needs to continue to percolate if ohio state is going to get back into this one. he has four. >> bill: they use that curl and popback. it's a walk. >> tim: dekker doubled. did not anticipate that. shot clock again under 10 but brust has it. we've got a foul prior to the shot. kitts spotted it before went into the shooting motion. the fifth-year senior gaining

>> tim: we show you the difference in had ohio state team when they struggle to score from other places than deshaun thomas and even his points hard-earned. >> bill: against michigan they only fouled eight times, wisconsin. you will see on this next sequence, look at the challenge. nothing easy. they only have one foul this half. superior, aggressive d in your grille as they say, at the other end the exhaustion factor part of the dilemma for ohio state, deep in the shot clock you've got to be alert for every catch, every screen, every step-back. >> tim: brust unable to convert at the free-throw line and pulled down by thompson. you cannot orchestrate five- or six-point possessions and sometimes when you get behind against wisconsin you almost

think you need that. >> bill: you've got to play with poise. >> tim: lenzelle smith way too strong. mcdonald a very good put-back by the tall youngster. >> bill: they've got to chase it. that wasn't a questionable shot challenge. they have had really good attempts but anticipating the carom, key, i think. >> tim: sophomore from battle creek, michigan. they need him to deal with berggren. >> bill: that's that mid post up he does so well. >> tim: smith jr. comes down with the rebound. ohio state looking for a late push in the final couple minutes of the first half. a two-shot foul as brust. coming up on "at&t at the half"

doug gottlieb and seth davis and our friends in stewed yes 43. lenzelle smith will get to the free throw line for a couple of shots. >> bill: interesting they push the ball. brust couldn't get in position to contain the bounce. i think you've got to do more of that. give it up as quickly as you can. more time to run your stuff in your action. >> tim: this ohio state team looked so strong in that loss to michigan on the road, and then aaron craft said we lost our edge when we played indiana. did not play -- "we played as though we thought we were better than we really were." that was the indication he was giving me. today they're going to need that edge again to mount a come-back trailing by 14. >> bill: tom crean's kids playing great. >> tim: they are. oladipo. >> bill: oladipo has been sensational. they are a very good basketball team. they can do it all. no question about it. being hot late is what counts, though. >> tim: got a little banged up last night, oladipo did.

>> tim: brust leaving it for berggren. yes, and a foul. >> bill: as good as brust had the bailout pass, the presence of mind of berggren, the big frame prepared to catch and finish. >> bill: a lot more dribble drive to set things up. >> tim: another youngster that's been a little cold of late from the floor. he was one for nine in his last three games from deep, and he's a vintage faceup big man in bo ryan's offense. >> bill: bo said they need him to make that three to really stretch the five man. >> tim: he had the big shot last year in columbus. they'll put that away. >> bill: bruesewitz banging. part of the problems with thomas, can't get free. nice drive. >> tim: krafsht not there.

did everything but finish. they only had 24 points. berggren and bruesewitz get up and down the floor. it's now 39-20. >> bill: talk about effort. wire to wire, bruesewitz, that's not necessarily speed but involvement. >> tim: ohio state in the victory only had 24 in columbus. they have 22 now. being held to your lowest output in a half is something a lot of oon posing teams of wisconsin deal with. >> tim: 4 1/2 seconds between the shot clock and the game clock. great defense by craft lead to the deflection and the turnover. >> bill: bruesewitz, there he is at the foul line, sprinting, take advantage.

the red shirts outnumbered. aggressive in nature. he really stimulates this team, i think. consistent in his endeavors. >> tim: gets along with the officials too. >> bill: he's a charmer. got to get something positive for ohio state. lean on as you figure out what you are going to do in the second half. >> tim: craft challenging the rack. nothing doing. evans at the buzzer. what a first 20 minutes in madison for the homestanding badgers. five of nine from downtown. state street is off to a happy start this sunday. 39-22 our score at the break. an event-filled second half. let's go to doug gottlieb in new york in studio 43. >> doug: thanks, tim. coming up on "at&t at the half," seth davis joins me. we'll have all of today's scores

if ohio state can't score off their defense they have to do it in the halfcourt and that is not what they do well. >> doug: the basic adjustment that wisconsin makes offensively as opposed to when ohio state almost beat michigan is that wisconsin goes under every screen, packs in the defense and makes you make jump shots, especially ohio state. they're 0-6 in the first half and they have a paucity of scorers outside deshaun thomas. this is how you play against ohio state. if you're going to play wisconsin, you have to play at their pace. let's get you right to the scoreboard starting with big ten action. michigan-penn state. penn state only b.c.s. program without a win in conference play. walk in the park, right? >> seth: you would think for michigan how they have been struggling, they lose three of the last four, got embarrassed at michigan state, got a winless team in your conference, on your own home floor, beat them by 20 or 30, if you feel like you're a national championship contender, not competing with a lot of energy, starting to pull away, tim hardaway with a pretty reversal.

last spot. gonzaga has two losses. one at home. much weaker schedule. florida has three losses including a bad one at arkansas. keep in mind, duke gets miami in cameron on march 2nd. if they win that game, duke will be a number one seed. >> doug: they shouldn't be a number one seed. their top six wins were december 8 or previously. the top five wins all in the month of november. >> seth: they still kouvenlt >> doug: they don't count if you don't have ryan kelly, you lose to maryland and maryland didn't have pe'shon howard, their starting point guard. >> seth: duke blown out at arkansas, better than losinga the miami. >> doug: a nine-point game at the end of the game. >> seth: a blowout. >> doug: 27 points is a blowout. >> seth: duke beats miami at home and does well enough in the a.c.c. tournament they're not a number one seed? >> doug: i'm willing to say there is a possibility but it's not like florida still doesn't have the opportunity to go in to missouri a team they've blown out and beat them, a team like michigan i don't think is of the will caber of the other one

seed, we have miami, michigan state as well as indiana as our one seed. >> seth: michigan right now. >> doug: it's they have michigan state and indiana at home. if they win those games, they win out, they could be a one seed as well, why not the zags 9-1 in true road games. looking at the bubble. that's what everyone wants to know. who is in, who is out. we have north carolina in. >> seth: yes, we do. >> doug: we have kentucky out. >> seth: not barely. >> doug: nova. >> seth: nova i have in. let's look at the three bubble teams. this is where you and i disagree and you know how much i hate to disagree with you, doug. i don't think they have road victories in the top 22nd. st. mary's i think had a golden opportunity which they blew this week by not beating gonzaga. if they don't beat creighton, i don't think st. mary's is getting in. i think villanova for the time being put themselves on the inside looking out. a road win at uconn. for a bubble team, that's huge. >> doug: let's start with iowa state. yes, a paucity of road wins but

you told me close road losses are just like wins, should have beaten kansas, should have beaten oklahoma state. i think they'll get one if not two of those. st. mary's, second best team in the wcc, st. mary's will get in, and i think nova is more likely to be the team that lost five of seven inside that syracuse-louisville two wins than they are the win over uconn going back to yesterday. give me one team america should watch out for that's not currently on the bubble that will climb into the bubble. >> seth: the red storm of st. john's. their problem once again not doing enough away from home. they've got at providence and at notre dame left to go. can they win one of those? can they beat pittsburgh or marquette at home? if so, i think they get in. they won at cincinnati. for a bubble team that's big. >> doug: watch out are for boise state. road win over creighton. close loss to michigan state. i know that doesn't count as a win. colorado state at home. they have san diego state at home and they have winnable road

games like the one at fresno state. i think the broncos are going to be the fifth team from the mountain west conference to get in. top five in the r.p.i., number two conference in the r.p.i. we would like to know your opinion on our court of opinion. join the conversation on twitter and facebook at hoops on cbs. thanks for watching "at&t at the half." second half ohio state and wisconsin coming up.
